Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) is the logical evolution from telephonic or Over-The-Phone (OPI) interpreting and can help our clients engage more personally in their interpreting sessions. Non-verbal communication (including body language and facial expression) further facilitates empathy and clarity of understanding.
Budget Friendly
Compared to the cost of onsite interpretation, video remote interpreting can be extremely affordable. Typically, an on-site interpreter requires a two-hour minimum charge, plus mileage and other expenses incurred. With VRI, the time you are charged for is limited to the duration of the call, and you aren't paying any travel fees.
Trained Professionals
VRI is done by trained professionals who are able to communicate well and thoroughly every time. Having content specialists in the translating role is important as well. Again, in an emergency medical situation, someone who knows medical terminology and is able to translate it well can be vital. Also, a trained professional will understand cultural differences and norms that need to be observed. When providing a service, one doesn't want to offend a patient or client.
VRI is a cost-effective service
Video remote interpreting is very budget-friendly. Think about it this way, those companies or individuals that need interpreting services have to call in an interpreter, pay hourly and cover travel fees every time they need the service. Typically, an on-site interpreter requires a two-hour minimum charge, plus mileage and other expenses. With VRI, you will save all of this money!
